The show features abstract paintings and works on paper, all done in natural light at Goldberg's North facing studio in New York. Each work is a hand-made object, built slowly over time by layering dozens of pigments to create unique color relationships. Rich in opaque, translucent and transparent hues, the paintings change with light throughout the day and over the seasons. Goldberg's ongoing dialog with art history is tied into his contemporary art practice. The usage of color as a vehicle for expression was inspired by an early interest in Florentine Mannerist Jacopo Pontormo; the emphasis on light comes out of Venetian masters. The process of making each piece - from using rabbit-skin glue, a traditional lead ground and slow build-up of color - is connected to the Old Masters, while the investigation of the painting as subject matter ties the work to postwar American abstraction. While the works are evocative, they don't refer to anything other than the history of their own making. Up close, they reveal a complex structure as new color transitions and brushwork passages continue to come into focus. Tension is built by using pigments that reflect and absorb light and brushwork that feels suppressed in some areas and exuberant in others. The project as a whole is about creating rich visual sensations through ever more refined and unexpected color combinations. As the viewer is drawn into the exploration of the paintings' layered archeology, time seems to have slowed down. Born in 1973, Goldberg is a native New Yorker. He graduated from Skidmore College and studied painting in Florence, Italy. His works are in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art.

The exhibition presents the artist’s works in video, photography and film made between 2007 and 2012, including here acclaimed multimedia series Staging Actors/ Staging Beliefs (2001/2012). The exhibition is curated by Zeljka Himbele. The title of the exhibition underlines continuous thread in Renata Poljak’s work- preoccupation with how ideologies and political agendas are being formed and disseminated, and how memory and history are constructed and recorded. The artist starts with her personal experiences, often portraying contemporary society of her home country of Croatia- however, the works resonate on much wider scale. In Staging Actors/ Staging Beliefs, the artist uses different media to investigate two iconic films of Yugoslav cinematography: Bosko Buha (1978) and Train in the Snow (1976). Through their continuous screenings both in theaters and on the national television, the communist ideology and belief in socialist system were extensively spread and influenced generations of people. Poljak examines what is currently happening to the actors who took main roles in these once popular films, and accordingly, how the Yugoslav political, social and cultural agendas transformed and mutated since the early 1990’s when Yugoslavia disintegrated and Croatia (one of the former Yugoslav States) gained its independence. The work can also be read as a general homage to all public personas, once embodying grand ideals, to be eventually forgotten and removed from collective memory. In Poljak’s most recent work, a photograph titled Uncertain Memories: This is not me, 2012, the history of cinema is again both a resource and a motif. The artist appropriates a frozen frame from Andrei Tarkovsky’s documentary Voyage in Time (1983), made during the director’s research trip through Italy for his famous feature film Nostalgia, to contemplate on entanglement of real and fictional in her investigation of remembering and identity. Finally, the video installation Ruta and the Monument, 2007, a work conceived during Poljak’s stay in the city of Berlin, juxtaposes two videos- completely different readings of the Holocaust— in order to speak about malleability of interpretations of the past through the present.

This exhibition, entitled: Haim Shelley, Part One: Works from Tel Aviv, will focus on NaHoN's recent sculptures created from 2009 to 2012 since she immigrated to Israel. The title of the exhibition is derived from the combination of two names, Haim and Shelley Nahon, both Holocaust survivors, NaHoN's uncle and his wife, respectively. In Hebrew, 'Haim Shelley' translates to 'my lives'. 'Life' is always plural in accordance with the Jewish faith and Hebrew language, which is a testament to the fact that lives are at once shared and interconnected. For this exhibition, 6 recent sculptures are presented called Shining Space, Frozen Time, and Holiness. Shining Space was created when NaHoN lived in Kibbutz Hatzor (2009-2010), which is next to an important Israeli air force base. The artist transformed the daily noise disturbance of F16 planes, which took off during military training, to become triangle shapes in a shining sky. This work expresses how solitude can become ethereal and even vanish when shared with others. The work is a metaphor for chaos becoming balance, conjoining volume with space and space with time. Frozen Time was created in Tel Aviv and NaHoN kept the triangle shape which is an important symbol in Jewish culture and history. The triangles made in steel plastic and polished paper, protrude outward as if they are reaching infinity from the sky, pushing the limits and asking for a new beauty, a new balance. Finally, the 5 sculptures called Holiness, explore the bond between the physical and spiritual within our environment and between generations and religions. Inside each gold triangle or pyramidal cube, NaHoN has created a kind of holy object for pushing the limits of belief, knowledge and perception. It is an attempt to conflate Christianity and Judaism in a gold and transparent space in reference to the Jerusalem light. NaHoN's ethereal sculptures investigate the concept of perfect balance in an imperfect world, relating the artist's personal experiences to the framework of history as a whole. Simultaneously, The French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF) is hosting an exhibition by NaHoN entitled Haim Shelley, Part One: Works from Tel Aviv, from November 28th to January 12th, 2013. This exhibition, curated by Tony Guerrero, Director of Visual Arts and Programs, is intended as an historical reflection of NaHoN's works between 1995 to the present. About the Artist: Born in Nice and based in Tel Aviv, award-winning artist Brigitte NaHoN creates sculptures and drawings that explore the elusive possibility of balance between tradition and modernity. Using an unlimited variety of materials, NaHoN investigates the concept of perfect balance in an unbalanced world,weaving conflicting characteristics - heaviness and lightness, strength and fragility, transparency and darkness- together to create a harmonious whole. NaHoN’s work has been exhibited internationally at The Jewish Museum, New York, and the Centro Cultural Banco, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where the first retrospective of NaHoN’s work was presented in 2001. Recent solo exhibitions include Stephan Stoyanov Gallery, New York; Gallery Iragui, Moscow, Galerie Jérôme de Noirmont, Paris, “Side by Side” Akim Monet Gallery, Berlin, and Largo Das Artes Gallery, Rio de Janeiro. NaHoN has been awarded numerous public commissions, including permanent works produced for the Musée International de la Parfumerie, Grasse; The Jewish Museum, New York; and the New Courthouse of Avignon, commissioned by The French Ministry of Justice. NaHoN holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Provence, Aix-en-Provence and a PhD in Visual art from the University of Paris, Panthéon-Sorbonne. NaHoN lived and worked in New York during the early 2000’s and became an American citizen. She later immigrated to Israel and is now an Israeli citizen.

Jean-Paul Sartre Stephan Stoyanov Gallery is pleased to present The Words by Jen Mazza, her first solo exhibition in New York. The exhibition offers a selection of exquisite small-scale oil paintings of books, each text chosen for its personal and conceptual resonances; a sort of "object biography" playing with the idea of narrative on many levels. For Mazza, the book is the place where the world of ideas and the physical world of objects merge. She comments, "As in painting where form becomes the vehicle for content, the book serves as the support for the text: both visible and invisible, it mediates the experience of reading." And certainly, reading her work is a possibility in the paintings of books opened to reveal minutely painted text or illustrations, while her other book paintings must be judged simply by their covers. The subtle, muted colors echo those in Morandi's oeuvre; the compositions are emblematic -- are these paintings meditations on the text or perhaps a eulogy for the book as object? Jen Mazza (born 1972, Washington D.C.) received her MFA from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University. She has exhibited in solo shows at the Jersey City Museum, Aljira Center for Contemporary Art, and John Davis Gallery in Hudson, NY, as well as in multiple group exhibitions which include: Komposition des Zufalls at Galerie Edgar Frei (Bern, Switzerland), Personal Effects at Gallery Affero (Newark, NJ), and Small is Beautiful at Flowers Gallery in New York. Honors include residencies at Yaddo, VCCA and Jentel. Mazza was also chosen as Artist in Residence at the Newark Museum in 2008. Jen Mazza lives and works in New York. - - - - - - art21 "Hand-to-Mouth Existence Begins to Pay Dividends" JEN MAZZA "The Words" September 5th – October 14th Opening September 5th, 6 – 9 pm "if I combined the words cleverly, the subject was floundering in the... http://www.stephanstoyanov.com/Shannon-Plumb http://www.stephanstoyanov.com/following/stephanstoyanov.com/Shannon-Plumb Tue, 06 Nov 2012 10:56:32 +0000 Stephan Stoyanov Gallery 4027606 <img src="http://payload86.cargocollective.com/1/8/276771/4027606/woman-with-burqua-still-3_2_905.png" width="800" height="500" width_o="800" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload86.cargocollective.com/1/8/276771/4027606/woman-with-burqua-still-3_2_o.png" data-mid="22681451" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload86.cargocollective.com/1/8/276771/4027606/window--2-still-with-siding_3_905.png" width="800" height="500" width_o="800" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload86.cargocollective.com/1/8/276771/4027606/window--2-still-with-siding_3_o.png" data-mid="22681456" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload86.cargocollective.com/1/8/276771/4027606/together-pic_1_905.png" width="800" height="500" width_o="800" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload86.cargocollective.com/1/8/276771/4027606/together-pic_1_o.png" data-mid="22681461" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload86.cargocollective.com/1/8/276771/4027606/photographer-3_905.png" width="800" height="500" width_o="800" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload86.cargocollective.com/1/8/276771/4027606/photographer-3_o.png" data-mid="22681474" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload86.cargocollective.com/1/8/276771/4027606/olympics-high-res-3_905.png" width="800" height="500" width_o="800" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload86.cargocollective.com/1/8/276771/4027606/olympics-high-res-3_o.png" data-mid="22681485" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload86.cargocollective.com/1/8/276771/4027606/olympics-high-res-2_905.png" width="800" height="500" width_o="800" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload86.cargocollective.com/1/8/276771/4027606/olympics-high-res-2_o.png" data-mid="22681496" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload86.cargocollective.com/1/8/276771/4027606/olympics-high-res-1_905.png" width="800" height="500" width_o="800" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload86.cargocollective.com/1/8/276771/4027606/olympics-high-res-1_o.png" data-mid="22681508" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload86.cargocollective.com/1/8/276771/4027606/invite-sexy_4_905.png" width="800" height="500" width_o="800" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload86.cargocollective.com/1/8/276771/4027606/invite-sexy_4_o.png" data-mid="22681517" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload86.cargocollective.com/1/8/276771/4027606/angry-model_905.png" width="800" height="500" width_o="800" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload86.cargocollective.com/1/8/276771/4027606/angry-model_o.png" data-mid="22681536" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload86.cargocollective.com/1/8/276771/4027606/fabric-seller-jpeg-1_5_905.png" width="800" height="500" width_o="800" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload86.cargocollective.com/1/8/276771/4027606/fabric-seller-jpeg-1_5_o.png" data-mid="22681520" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload86.cargocollective.com/1/8/276771/4027606/boxer-jpeg_905.png" width="800" height="500" width_o="800" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload86.cargocollective.com/1/8/276771/4027606/boxer-jpeg_o.png" data-mid="22681526" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload86.cargocollective.com/1/8/276771/4027606/ballerina-jpeg_905.png" width="800" height="500" width_o="800" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload86.cargocollective.com/1/8/276771/4027606/ballerina-jpeg_o.png" data-mid="22681532" border="0" align="left"/> SHANNON PLUMB: Film Sketches October 24th - 28th, 2012 Opening October 24th 6 - 9pm Stephan Stoyanov Gallery is pleased to announce Film Sketches, a video exhibition of Brooklyn-based artist Shannon Plumb, from Wednesday, October 24th to Sunday, October 28th. Using a Super 8 - Film Camera, Film Sketches will explore Plumb's cinematic studies of life's various roles and characters that deal with complexities embedded in the ordinary and extraordinary. Through the use of comedy and raw quality film, Plumb is a one-woman show starring as all characters and acting as the creative force behind her films. Plumb's videos are currently being showcased on ARThood.com, the new online destination for the art world. Additionally, Plumb is working on her first feature film titled Towheads, which she is directing, writing and starring in. About the Artist Shannon Plumb was born in Schenectady, New York and moved to the city in her early 20's. Unsure of her direction, she took a job as a gourmet delivery girl and found herself delivering food to the steps of Mario Sorrenti's home. In 1995, Plumb began her modeling career for Sorrenti. It was collaboration that has influenced her work as a filmmaker and visual artist from both aesthetic and theoretical standpoints. Plumb's work borrows from the histories of performance, photography, film and video, while at the same time making keen observations of modern life. "My work is about universal challenges, about distractions and obstacles that everyone endures- the heat, a mosquito after your skin, patience, victory and defeat, saying goodbye to someone you love. If they can laugh about the annoying things in life, then I've accomplished something. And, I've given something." Shannon Plumb has screened her work in film festivals such as the New York Video Festival at Lincoln Center (New York), the Underground Film Festival (New York), Freize Art Fair (London). Her work has also been exhibited at institutions including The New Museum for Contemporary Art (New York), Anthology Film Archives (New York), The Institute for Contemporary Art (London), and the Museum of Contemporary Art (Los Angeles), Brooklyn Museum (New York), Musee de Beaux Arts, Lausanne (Switzerland), Tate Museum (London).

2012 Opening October 17th 6 - 9pm Stephan Stoyanov Gallery is thrilled to present a solo exhibition by the DC-based artist Brian Dailey. This will be Dailey's first solo show in New York City. The exhibition is curated by Simon Watson. The "America in Color" series originated two years ago with the objective to capture individual portraits of the American electorate, including those with no interest in politics or voting. The project explores the intersection of American politics, the individual character, and the role of perception in how we view and understand the vital components that shape the political process. Over the past 9 months, Dailey has traveled throughout the United States organizing impromptu photo-shoots in cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, New Orleans, New York and rural Virginia as well as the urban and rural Southern, mid-West, Western, and Northeast states. The portraits allow individuals to define themselves and express their own identities within a relaxed setting devoid of the highly charged atmosphere often associated with political debates. Each individual is asked to pose in front of a color background that represents their political affiliation: blue for Democrat, red for Republican, grey for Independent, green for the Green Party, and yellow if they don’t vote or participate in the political process. Subjects are asked to strike a pose that best represents their character or identity. These individual portraits are then arranged on a series of 4’ x 8’ panels comprised of four vertical by 11 horizontal images, totaling 44 images on each panel. The result is a vibrant tapestry of colors: a tribute to the regional diversity and character of the American electorate during a polarized national election. The exhibition will also feature a selection of individual portraits as well as a digital loop comprising more than 1000 portraits shot by the artist in over 25 states. The exhibition is scheduled to coincide with the upcoming 2012 election. Brian Dailey received his Masters of Fine Arts in Painting and Design from Otis Art Institute (Los Angeles) in 1975. During the 1970s, he worked and exhibited in LA including performance art pieces at the Roger Wong Gallery and the Los Angeles Institute of Contemporary Art. In November 1977 “Vice”--his last performance work of that period--was staged at LAICA and featured in the art magazine High Performance. Beginning in 1980, Brian became involved in government policymaking and corporate management. He returned to art full time in 2008, and maintains studios in Woodstock, Virginia in the Shenandoah Valley. His work uses various media including the photographic process, digital film, and oil on canvas. He serves on the Board of Directors of the Foundation for Art and Preservation in Embassies.
